Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Renate Müller's second English-language film; she died mysteriously at 31 just five years later, rumored Nazi pressure over her Jewish lover.
Wilhelm Thiele fled Germany in 1933—this pre-Hitler musical comedy captures a fleeting Weimar-era lightness about to be obliterated.
